George Leo Haydock, on 1Cor 9:27

“But I chastise my body, and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway.”

“I chastise, &c. Here St. Paul shews the necessity of self-denial and mortification to subdue the flesh, and its inordinate desires. (Challoner) — Not even the labours of an apostle are exemptions from voluntary mortification and penance.”
